Indicator Definition
| Indicator Name | BAR 1.4.4 Number of bridges constructed, rehabilitated, or upgraded |
|---|---|
| Indicator Definition | The indicator measures the total number of bridges that have been newly constructed, rehabilitated, or upgraded to improve access to essential services such as markets, schools, and health centres. Responsibility: When should indicator be reported on by TRAC4Change unit and when should It be reported on by the project? If the project is clearly within Helvetas then it is the project that should report on the indicator, if outside of Helvetas then the unit will report. |

Examples of Actvities
Construction of new bridges to improve connectivity between communities and essential services.
Rehabilitation of existing bridges to enhance their structural integrity and safety.
Upgrading bridges to support increased traffic loads or to meet new safety standards.
Integration of drainage systems and erosion control measures to extend bridge lifespan.
Development and implementation of community-led bridge maintenance programs.
Supporting institutions to construct or rehabilitate bridges.
Capacity building and technical support to institutions responsible for infrastructure development.
Coordination with local authorities to integrate constructed or rehabilitated infrastructure into broader transportation networks.
Data Collection
| Data Source and Means of Verification | Project reports (e.g., construction and rehabilitation reports and contracts, monitoring records). |
|---|---|
| Measuring Frecuency | Continuously during the project, best to keep track every time a bridge is finished |
| Data Collection Guidance | The number of bridges is defined during the planning or early implementation phase of the project. The result can be registered (and adjusted if needed) once the activity has been completed. Regular monitoring during project implementation and post-construction assessments to verify the number of bridges constructed, rehabilitated, or upgraded. |
How to report
Annual reporting: Report the total number of bridges constructed, rehabilitated, or upgraded, disaggregated by bridge type and geographic area.
Reporting is cumulative, meaning that you should not report on bridges that have been reported on in previous years within the same project.
